What's that you were saying then about Ireland?
A collection of our individual previews for each side in the Six Nations - from who will finish first to last.
ENGLAND
"England are faced with the same old issues of who to pick in midfield and remain sitting on the cusp of greatness, having yet to convince that they can actually win this year's Rugby World Cup on home soil."
FRANCE
"Will Philippe Saint-André finally settle on a half-back pairing that might take him through to the World Cup?"
IRELAND
"We all know a fully fit Ireland are a match for any team but when players drop out, cracks begin to appear in terms of depth, which is likely to prove the difference between smiles and frowns."
ITALY
"There will be plenty of motivation to do well in coach Jacques Brunel's final Six Nations campaign before stepping aside."
SCOTLAND
"Scotland approach this year's tournament buoyed by an impressive trio of November displays under new boss Vern Cotter."
WALES
"Couple confidence from November with a favourable schedule that sees them welcome both England and Ireland to the Millennium Stadium, and it's a huge opportunity for Warren Gatland and his team."
